The Monster Study | Marks Unexplained World Podcast (Ep. 183)

from Marks Unexplained World · host Mark Hughes

The Monster Study | Marks Unexplained World Podcast (Ep. 183) Listener Discretion Advised The Monster Study was a non-consensual experiment performed on 22 orphan children in Davenport, Iowa in 1939 about stuttering. The study was never published, and as a result was relatively unknown until a 2001 San Jose Mercury News article conducted by an investigative reporter, Jim Dyer. He revealed the details and followed up with the former test subjects who were still living – none of whom were told it was an experiment. A lawsuit took place and the seven test subjects from the "negative-reinforcement" group were awarded $925,000 by the State of Iowa for lifelong psychological and emotional scars. --- Marks Unexplained World  Socials:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/755482988915649/  Instagram: Mark Hughes (@mark_the_medium__) • Instagram photos and videos  ---  Podcast Description & Credits www.hauntedresearchcentre.com www.frightnights.co.uk --- Credits...
